Some oversexed executives decide to throw a bachelor party in a closed-down-for-the-night highrise. Officer Joe Vickers (Bobby Ray Shafer, just as awful as he was in the original) decides that's "against company policy," sneaks into the building and proceeds to slaughter everyone while making stupid wisecracks ("You have the right to remain... dead!"). Other than the guys, a night watchman and male and female office workers are still around and three stripper/hookers (Julie Strain, Melanie Good and "Priscilla Huckleberry"/Maureen Flaherty) show up, so there's plenty of nudity and victims (unlike in the first film).
Incompetently handled gore scene include a pencil to the eye, axe to the stomach and a double impalement, plus a girl tossed off the roof and people pushed down an elevator shaft. Little of this is actually shown thanks to poor editing, though I was only able to see the R-rated version, which seems to have been censored with a chainsaw.
Still, this is a marked improvement over the insufferable original. There are a few laughs, some of the cast members show promise (especially Barbara Niven as the attractive female accountant working late and Miles David Dougal as the nervous/nerdy guy). The weirdest moment occurs at the end of the film, where the director cameos in a scene influenced by the then-topical Rodney King beating! Don't ask.
